You can roll a car multiple times at 40 mph 
when i say 'close' i mean he could of infact been no where near the 186  .

this is what i was getting at with regards to him being prosecuted.
you can do 70mph on a motorway here and still get done for driving without due care.

also i imagine travelling at that speed you wouldnt have a great deal of time to brake if someone pulls out on you, you'd be on top of them before you knew it also for the car to roll over 'multiple times' i imagine he was doing 'close' to 180ish.
you say that but i bet the car that pulled out was doing 100+ mph
